Oi Mahamanab Ase - The afterlife of Netaji Subhas - Beyond the concocted aircrash part 2 - Witness Accounts
1. Alfred Wagg claimed to have seen Netaji Subhas in Dalat near Saigon on 19 Aug 1945, a day after the so called crash, so also the Bishop of Dalat and few minor Japanese soldiers. He claimed the same in front of Nehru in a press conference in India
2. The declassified files reveal an interesting event. The file no 870/11/P/16/92 contains a series of broadcasts over radio, heard by P.C Kar who was monitoring the radio transmissions in Governor House in 1945. He told the Governor R.G Casey that these broadcasts were picked up on 31 m band and possibly were transmitted from Radio Manchuria. The first broadcast came on Dec 26 1945 and it said - " I am at present in the shelter of great world powers. My heart is burning for India. I will go to India on the crest of a Third world war. It may come in ten years or even earlier. Then I will sit upon judgement upon those trying my men at the Red Fort." The second broadcast was on Jan 1 1946 and said, " We must get freedom within next two years. The British imperialism has broken down and it must concede independence to India. India will not be free by means of non violence. But I am quite respectful to Mr. Gandhi. The Third broadcast was in February 1946, "I am Subhas Chandra Bose speaking, Jai Hind. This is the third time I am addressing my Indian brothers and sisters after Japan's surrender...The PM of England is going to send Mr. Pethick Lawrence and two other members with no object in view other than let the Birtish imperialism a permanent settlement by all means to suck the blood of India."
3. The declassified files also refer to a communication by Khurshed Naoroji to Mountbatten, saying, 'At heart the Indian Army is sympathetic to INA. If Bose comes with the help of Russia, neither Gandhiji, nor Nehru nor Congress will be able to reason with the country.'
4. Gallagher, British Labour party leader, said that he had definite information that Bose secretly visited UK in 1946.
5. In 1948, De Vallera, as president of Ireland came to visit India. When asked about Bose he said that he hoped to meet him in India.
6. In 1946, Deben Sen, an ex M.P, saw Netaji in Marseille airport, surrounded by white bodyguards. He was dressed in military uniform and when Deben Sen tried to approach him, he just signed him not to. Deben later revealed this incident to Chapalakanta Bhattacharya of Hindusthan Standard Patrika, who reported the same to G.D Khosla. Khosla ignored this testimony.
7. Ardhendu Sarkar, a Benagli engineer working in Ukraine had a most fascinating story to tell. While working on a site in USSR, his colleague Zerevin, a German Jew told him that he had met Bose in Berlin in 1941. He said that he met him again in Siberia. Bose was given a diplomat status by Russia and had a car and two private bodyguards. He recognized Zerevin and said that he had no plans of an immediate return to India. Ardhendu reported this to the Indian consulate in Moscow with the result that he had to lose his job and had to come back to India. Nobody would believe him and he almost lost his career. He was alive to narrate his story to Chandrachud and Anuj Dhar.
8. In 1956 Muthuramalingam Thevar, who was a staunch Bose loyalist and was called the Bose of the South, then a Forward Block leader made a most astonishing claim. He said that in 1950 he managed to cross over to China. There he met Netaji Subhas and even stayed with him for sometime. Thevar was a parliamentarian whose photo is there in the Hall of Fame. His statements carried weight
9. Balraj Trikha made a claim that he saw Netaji Subhas in a military uniform in Saigon airport in 1971. Trikha was no Netaji admirer or sensationalist. On behalf of him the claim was made by a journalist friend in front of Khosla commission. That journalist was also no Netaji lover
10. Main witness of the air crash theory Habibur Rahman told Sunil Krishna Gupta privately while he came to testify in front of Shah Nawaz committee, "let him (Netaji) come back, we'll have double gain - we'll have him and it will expose those who are trying to declare him as dead."
11. Samar Guha, the vetarn parliamentarian and long time fighter for establishing the rightful place of Netaji in the history of India, declared in parliament that Netaji was alive and he knew it. Only he could not disclose his identity and location. After this Guha was discredited for publishing a fake photograph of an aged Netaji which he claimed was given to him by his political opponent. Out of frustration he revealed to his friends, "if he (Netaji) does not want to come out what can I do."
12. Atul Sen, veteran parliamentarian and a long time associate of Netaji wrote to Nehru (after meeting a certain sadhu in Neemsar in 1962) that, Netaji was alive and if Nehru could guarantee that his would not be handed over to the allied forces, he (Atul), would convince Netaji to come out of his hiding. Nehru's answer was most enigmatic. The PM, who had claimed just 6 years back in parliament that there was no doubt that Bose was dead, said that, there was no question of handing him over to the allied forces. He never responded to the first statement, viz. that Netaji was alive. When the Shaulmari episode had come up, Nehru even sent Surendra Mohan Ghoshal, another associate of Netaji, to see for himself if the sadhu Saradananda was indeed Netaji. Surendra, after meeting the sadhu, said that he was not Netaji. Why would a prime minister, confident of the death of his political adversary, would send a trusted emissary to check on a false trail, unless he himself was not sure.
13. After gaining independence, a jubilant Sheikh Mujib made a significant statement in a large gathering - That Bangladesh has gained independence proves that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was alive.
14. Netaji's erstwhile driver in Azad Hind government told that he met Swami, one of the top secret service men of Netaji's Azad Government, in Varanasi in 1971, and Swami told him that Netaji was alive and was in U.P as a sadhu
